That's because it's not an argument! It's a proposition.Speakpigeon wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 11:39 am You've mixed up two arguments.
The argument with "=" is valid, the argument with "is" is not valid.
SpeakPigeon is human (SpeakPigeon = Human).
What fucking planet are you from?

First, the argument with "=" is valid:And then the argument with "is" is not valid:A=C;
B=C;
Therefore A=B.What is it you don't understand?John is human;
Jane is human;
Therefore, John is Jane.
If you want a formal expression of the second argument, here is it:And it is clearly not valid.A∈C;
B∈C;
Therefore, A∈B.
What is it you don't understand?
Ah, yes, logic.

I am not making any ARGUMENTS. I am making TRUE ASSERTIONS about reality!
John is human. ( A = C ). I look at John - he is fucking human!
Jane is human ( B = C ). I look at Jane - she is fucking human!
John is not Jane (A != B). I look at John and Jane - they are different fucking people!
Why do I need to argue about these fucking things?
Do you think you need to argue that you are human and that you are not me?
IT IS FUCKING OBVIOUS.
